Explanation :
This answer shows steps of becoming a team member that doesn't appear to be in training. It is describing ways to limit training times in meetings, and include that a new worker could benefit an existing team by making a list of ideas. Even if everyone is a veteran, I feel confident I can fit right in. I would prepare as much as I can by reading existing material to catch up on the project. I would plan for meetings by making a list of questions I have and finding the answers to these questions before the meeting. I would also create a list of ideas through the documents I have read. A fresh mind could help with creative solutions. I know that I would be required to study a lot in the beginning, but I would be able to do so at home or by working late in the office.

Answer : 3. "[6 + (261/315)] days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) [6 + (261/315)] days Explanation: After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work. After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) + (1/7) is finished. After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315. So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315. Now remaining work = 29 /315 On day 7, A will work again Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work. Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. Total days required is 6 + (261/315) days.
